THE  PROMISE. 

MARK  ix :  a  3  ;  JOHN  xiv :  12. 

JESUS  said  unto  him,  If  thou  canst  believe,  all 
things  are  possible  to  him  that  believeth. 
VERILY,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth 
on  me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do  also ;  and 
greater  works  than  these  shall  he  do;  because  I 
go  unto  my  Father. 

THE  FIRST  MANIFESTATION  OF  POWER. 
JOHN  i:  40-51. 

ONE  of  the  two  which  heard  John  speak,  and  fol- 
lowed him,  was  Andrew,  Simon  Peter's  brother. 
HE  FIRST  findeth  his  own  brother  Simon,  and 
saith  unto  him,  We  have  found  the  Messias, 
which  is,  being  interpreted,  the  Christ. 
AND  he  brought  him  to  Jesus.  And  when  Jesus 
beheld  him,  he  said,  Thou  art  Simon  the  son  of 
Jona :  thou  shalt  be  called  Cephas,  which  is  by 
interpretation,  A  stone. 

THE  day  following  Jesus  would  go  forth  into 
Galilee,  and  findeth  Philip,  and  saith  unto  him, 
Follow  me.

Now  Philip  was  of  Bethsaida,  the  city  of  An- 
drew and  Peter. 

PHILIP  findeth  Nathanael,  and  saith  unto  him, 
We  have  found  him,  of  whom  Moses  in  the 
law,  and  the  prophets,  did  write,  Jesus  of  Nazar- 
eth, the  son  of  Joseph. 

AND  Nathanael  said  unto  him,  Can  there  any 
good  thing  come  out  of  Nazareth  ?  Philip  saith 
unto  him,  Come  and  see. 

JESUS  saw  Nathanael  coming  to  him,  and  saith 
of  him,  Behold  an  Israelite  indeed,  in  whom  is 
no  guile  ! 

NATHANAEL  saith  unto  him,  Whence  knowest 
thou  me?  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
Before  that  Philip  called  thee,  when  thou  wast 
under  the  fig  tree,  I  saw  thee. 
NATHANAEL  answered  and  saith  unto  him,  Rabbi, 
thou  art  the  son  of  God ;  thou  art  the  King  of 
Israel. 

JESUS  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Because  I 
said  unto  thee,  I  saw  thee  under  the  fig  tree, 
believest  thou?  thou  shalt  see  greater  things  than 
these. 

AND  he  saith  unto  him,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  Hereafter  ye  shall  see  heaven  open,  and 
the  angels  of  God  ascending  and  descending  upon 
the  Son  of  man.

THE  WATER  MADE  WINE. 

CANA  OP  GALILEE.    JOHN  n:  1-12. 

AND  the  third  day  there  was  a  marriage  in  Cana 
of  Galilee;   and  the  mother  of  Jesus  was 
there: 

AND  both  Jesus  was  called,  and  his  disciples,  to 
the  marriage. 

AND  when  they  wanted  wine,  the  mother  of  Jesus 
saith  unto  him,  They  have  no  wine. 
JESUS  saith  unto  her,  Woman,  what  have  I  to  do 
with  thee?    Mine  hour  is  not  yet  come. 
His  mother  saith  unto  the  servants,  Whatsoever 
he  saith  unto  you,  do  /'/. 

AND  there  were  set  there  six  waterpots  of  stone, 
after  the  manner  of  the  purifying  of  the  Jews, 
containing  two  or  three  firkins  apiece. 
JESUS  saith  unto  them,  Fill  the  waterpots  with 
water.   And  they  filled  them  up  to  the  brim. 
AND   he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out  now,  and 
bear  unto  the  governor  of  the  feast.    And  they 
bare  /'/. 

WHEN  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had  tasted  the  water 
that  was  made  wine,  and  knew  not  whence  it  was, 
(but  the  servants  which  drew  the  water  knew,) 
the  governor  of  the  feast  called  the  bridegroom, 


Wmte  of 


AND  saith  unto  him,  Every  man  at  the  beginning 

doth  set  forth  good  wine;  and  when  men  have 

well  drunk,  then  that  which  is  worse :  but  thou 

hast  kept  the  good  wine  until  now. 

THIS  beginning  of  miracles  did  Jesus  in  Cana  of 

Galilee,  and  manifested  forth  his  glory;  and  his 

disciples  believed  on  him. 

AFTER  this  he  went  down  to  Capernaum,  he,  and 

his  mother,  and  his  brethren,  and  his  disciples : 

and  they  continued  there  not  many  days. 

HEALING  THE  NOBLEMAN'S  SON. 
CANA  OF  GALILEE.    JOHN  iv  :  46-54. 

46  oo  JESUS  came  again  into  Cana  of  Galilee,  where 
i^  he  made  the  water  wine.  And  there  was  a  cer- 
tain nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick  at  Capernaum. 

47  WHEN   he  heard  that  Jesus  was  come  out  of 
Judaea  into  Galilee,  he  went  unto  him,  and  be- 
sought him  that  he  would  come  down,  and  heal 
his  son :  for  he  was  at  the  point  of  death. 
THEN  said  Jesus  unto  him,  Except  ye  see  signs 
and  wonders,  ye  will  not  believe. 

49    THE  nobleman  saith  unto  him,  Sir,  come  down 

ere  my  child  die. 
5°    JESUS  saith  unto  him,  Go  thy  way;  thy  son  liveth. 

And  the  man  believed  the  word  that  Jesus  had 

spoken  unto  him,  and  he  went  his  way. 
51    AND  as  he  was  now  going  down,  his  servants  met 

him,  and  told  himy  saying,  Thy  son  liveth. 


peginning  anb  Jf  irtft  gear  of 


THEN  enquired  he  of  them  the  hour  when  he  be- 
gan to  amend.   And  they  said  unto  him,  Yesterday 
at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever  left  him. 
So  THE  father  knew  that  //  was  at  the  same  hour, 
in  the  which  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thy  son  liveth : 
and  himself  believed,  and  his  whole  house. 
THIS  is  again  the  second  miracle  that  Jesus  did, 
when  he  was  come  out  of  Judaea  into  Galilee. 

JESUS  PRESERVES  HIS  OWN  LIFE. 
NAZARETH.    LUKE  iv  :  16-31. 

AND  he  came  to  Nazareth,  where  he  had  been 
brought  up :  and,  as  his  custom  was,  he  went 
into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath  day,  and  stood 
up  for  to  read. 

AND  there  was  delivered  unto  him  the  book  of 
the  prophet  Esaias.  And  when  he  had  opened 
the  book,  he  found  the  place  where  it  was  written, 
THE  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon  me,  because  he 
hath  anointed  me  to  preach  the  gospel  to  the 
poor ;  he  hath  sent  me  to  heal  the  broken-hearted, 
to  preach  deliverance  to  the  captives,  and  recov- 
ering of  sight  to  the  blind,  to  set  at  liberty  them 
that  are  bruised, 

To  PREACH  the  acceptable  year  of  the  Lord. 
AND  he  closed  the  book,  and  he  gave  it  again  to 
the  minister,  and  sat  down.    And  the  eyes  of  all 
them  that  were  in  the  synagogue  were  fastened 
on  him. 


AND  he  began  to  say  unto  them,  This  day  is  this 

scripture  fulfilled  in  your  ears. 

AND  all  bare  him  witness,  and  wondered  at  the 

gracious  words  which  proceeded  out  of  his  mouth. 

And  they  said,  Is  not  this  Joseph's  son? 

AND  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  will  surely  say  unto  me 

this  proverb,  Physician,  heal  thyself:  whatsoever 

we  have  heard  done  in  Capernaum,  do  also  here 

in  thy  country. 

AND  he  said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  No  prophet 

is  accepted  in  his  own  country. 

BUT  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  many  widows  were  in 

Israel  in  the  days  of  Elias,  when  the  heaven  was 

shut  up  three  years  and  six  months,  when  great 

famine  was  throughout  all  the  land ; 

26  BUT  unto  none  of  them  was  Elias  sent,  save  unto 
Sarepta,  a  city  of  Sidon,  unto  a  woman  that  was 
a  widow. 

AND  many  lepers  were  in  Israel  in  the  time  of 
Eliseus   the   prophet;    and   none   of  them  was 
cleansed,  saving  Naaman  the  Syrian. 
AND  all  they  in  the  synagogue,  when  they  heard 
these  things,  were  filled  with  wrath, 
AND  rose  up,  and  thrust  him  out  of  the  city,  and 
led  him  unto  the  brow  of  the  hill  whereon  their 
city  was  built,  that  they  might  cast  him  down 
headlong. 

3°  BUT  he  passing  through  the  midst  of  them,  went 
his  way, 


innins  anb  Jf  tr£t  gear  of 


AND  came  down  to  Capernaum,  a  city  of  Galilee, 
and  taught  them  on  the  sabbath  days. 

THE  DRAUGHT  OF  FISHES. 

SIMON'S  SHIP  NEAR  BETHSAIDA.    LUKE  v:  i-n. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  the  people  pressed 
upon  him  to  hear  the  word  of  God,  he  stood 
by  the  lake  of  Gennesaret, 

AND  saw  two  ships  standing  by  the  lake:  but  the 
fishermen  were  gone  out  of  them,  and  were  wash- 
ing their  nets. 

AND  he  entered  into  one  of  the  ships,  which  was 
Simon's,  and  prayed  him  that  he  would  thrust 
out  a  little  from  the  land.  And  he  sat  down,  and 
taught  the  people  out  of  the  ship. 
Now  when  he  had  left  speaking,  he  said  unto 
Simon,  Launch  out  into  the  deep,  and  let  down 
your  nets  for  a  draught. 

AND  Simon  answering  said  unto  him,  Master, 
we  have  toiled  all  the  night,  and  have  taken 
nothing:  nevertheless  at  thy  word  I  will  let  down 
the  net. 

AND  when  they  had  this  done,  they  inclosed  a 
great  multitude  of  fishes  :  and  their  net  brake. 
AND  they  beckoned  unto  their  partners,  which 
were  in  the  other  ship,  that  they  should  come 
and  help  them.    And  they  came,  and  filled  both 
the  ships,  so  that  they  began  to  sink. 
WHEN  Simon  Peter  saw  /'/,  he  fell  down  at  Jesus' 


&orfe*  of 


knees,  saying,  Depart  from  me ;  for  I  am  a  sinful 
man,  O  Lord. 

FOR  he  was  astonished,  and  all  that  were  with 
him,  at  the  draught  of  the  fishes  which  they  had 
taken : 

AND  so  was  also  James,  and  John,  the  sons  of 
Zebedee,  which  were  partners  with  Simon.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  Simon,  Fear  not;  from  hence- 
forth thou  shalt  catch  men. 

AND  when  they  had  brought  their  ships  to  land, 
they  forsook  all,  and  followed  him.

THE  HEALING  IN  THE  SYNAGOGUE. 
CAPERNAUM.    MARK  1 :  21-28. 

AND  they  went  into  Capernaum ;  and  straight- 
way on  the  sabbath  day  he  entered  into  the 
synagogue,  and  taught. 

AND  they  were  astonished  at  his  doftrine :  for  he 
taught  them  as  one  that  had  authority,  and  not 
as  the  scribes. 

AND  there  was  in  their  synagogue  a  man  with  an 
unclean  spirit;  and  he  cried  out, 
SAYING,  Let  us  alone ;  what  have  we  to  do  with 
thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Nazareth?  art  thou  come  to 
destroy  us?  I  know  thee  who  thou  art,  the  Holy 
One  of  God. 

AND  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying,  Hold  thy  peace, 
and  come  out  of  him. 


innms  anb  Jf  trtft  |9ear  of  JWtnfetrp 

AND  when  the  unclean  spirit  had  torn  him,  and 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  he  came  out  of  him. 
AND  they  were  all  amazed,  insomuch  that  they 
questioned  among  themselves,  saying,  What  thing 
is  this?  what  new  dodrine  is  this?  for  with  au- 
thority commandeth  he  even  the  unclean  spirits, 
and  they  do  obey  him. 

AND  immediately  his  fame  spread  abroad  through- 
out all  the  region  round  about  Galilee.

HEALS  PETER'S  WIFE'S  MOTHER  AND  OTHERS. 
CAPERNAUM.    LUKE  iv:  38-40. 

AND  he  arose  out  of  the  synagogue,  and  en- 
tered into  Simon's  house.  And  Simon's  wife's 
mother  was  taken  with  a  great  fever;  and  they 
besought  him  for  her. 

AND  he  stood  over  her,  and  rebuked  the  fever; 
and  it  left  her:  and  immediately  she  arose  and 
ministered  unto  them. 

Now  when  the  sun  was  setting,  all  they  that  had 
any  sick  with  divers  diseases  brought  them  unto 
him ;  and  he  laid  his  hands  on  every  one  of  them, 
and  healed  them.

MANY  HEALED  THROUGHOUT  GALILEE. 
MATTHEW  iv:  23,  24. 

AND  Jesus  went  about  all  Galilee,  teaching  in 
their  synagogues,  and  preaching  the  gospel  of 


of 


the  kingdom,  and  healing  all  manner  of  sickness 
and  all  manner  of  disease  among  the  people. 
*4  AND  his  fame  went  throughout  all  Syria:  and 
they  brought  unto  him  all  sick  people  that  were 
taken  with  divers  diseases  and  torments,  and  those 
which  were  possessed  with  devils,  and  those  which 
were  lunatick,  and  those  that  had  the  palsy ;  and 
he  healed  them.

THE  HEALING  OF  A  LEPER. 
GALILEE.    LUKE  v:  12-16. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  in  a  certain 
city,  behold  a  man  full  of  leprosy:  who  seeing 
Jesus  fell  on  his  face,  and  besought  him,  saying, 
Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 
AND  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  him,  say- 
ing, I  will :  be  thou  clean.  And  immediately  the 
leprosy  departed  from  him. 

AND  he  charged  him  to  tell  no  man :  but  go,  and 
shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  and  offer  for  thy  cleans- 
ing, according  as  Moses  commanded,  for  a  testi- 
mony unto  them. 

'5  BUT  so  much  the  more  went  there  a  fame  abroad 
of  him:  and  great  multitudes  came  together  to 
hear,  and  to  be  healed  by  him  of  their  infirmities. 

16  AND  he  withdrew  himself  into  the  wilderness,  and 
prayed.

THE  HEALING  OF  A  PARALYTIC. 
CAPERNAUM.    LUKE  v:  17-26. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  on  a  certain  day,  as  he  was 
teaching,  that  there  were  Pharisees  and  doc- 
tors of  the  law  sitting  by,  which  were  come  out  of 
every  town  of  Galilee,  and  Judaea,  and  Jerusalem  : 
and  the  power  of  the  Lord  was  present  to  heal  them. 
AND,  behold,  men  brought  in  a  bed  a  man  which 
was  taken  with  a  palsy:  and  they  sought  means 
to  bring  him  in,  and  to  lay  him  before  him. 
AND  when  they  could  not  find  by  what  way  they 
might  bring  him  in  because  of  the  multitude, 
they  went  upon  the  housetop,  and  let  him  down 
through  the  tiling  with  his  couch  into  the  midst 
before  Jesus. 

AND  when  he  saw  their  faith,  he  said  unto  him, 
Man,  thy  sins  are  forgiven  thee. 
AND  the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees  began  to  reason,

THE  INFIRM  MAN  AT  THE  POOL  OF  BETHESDA. 
JERUSALEM.    JOHN  v:  1-15. 

AFTER  this  there  was  a  feast  of  the  Jews ;  and 
Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 
Now  there  is  at  Jerusalem  by  the  sheep  market 
a  pool,  which  is   called  in  the  Hebrew  tongue 
Bethesda,  having  five  porches. 
IN  THESE  lay  a  great  multitude  of  impotent  folk, 
of  blind,  halt,  withered,  waiting  for  the  moving 
of  the  water. 

FOR  an  angel  went  down  at  a  certain  season  into 
the  pool,  and  troubled  the  water :  whosoever  then 
first  after  the  troubling  of  the  water  stepped  in, 
was  made  whole  of  whatsoever  disease  he  had. 
AND  a  certain  man  was  there,  which  had  an  in- 
firmity thirty  and  eight  years. 
WHEN  Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and  knew  that  he  had 
been  now  a  long  time  in  that  case,  he  saith  unto 
him,  Wilt  thou  be  made  whole  ? 
THE  impotent  man  answered  him,  Sir,  I  have 
no  man,  when  the  water  is  troubled,  to  put  me 
into  the  pool :  but  while  I  am  coming,  another 
steppeth  down  before  me. 

JESUS  saith  unto  him,  Rise,  take  up  thy  bed,  and 
walk.

AND  immediately  the  man  was  made  whole,  and 
took  up  his  bed,  and  walked :  and  on  the  same 
day  was  the  sabbath. 

THE  Jews  therefore  said  unto  him  that  was  cured, 
It  is  the  Sabbath  day :  it  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to 
carry  thy  bed. 

HE  ANSWERED  them,  He  that  made  me  whole, 
the  same  said  unto  me,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and 
walk. 

THEN  asked  they  him,  What  man  is  that  which 
said  unto  thee,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk  ? 
AND  he  that  was  healed  wist  not  who  it  was :  for 
Jesus   had  conveyed  himself  away,  a  multitude 
being  in  that  place. 
14    AFTERWARD  Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  temple,  and 
said  unto  him,  Behold,  thou  art  made  whole :  sin 
no  more,  lest  a  worse  thing  come  unto  thee. 
THE  man  departed,  and  told  the  Jews  that  it  was 
Jesus,  which  had  made  him  whole. 

THE  WITHERED  HAND  RESTORED. 
GALILEE.    MATTHEW  xn:  9-13. 

AND  when  he  was  departed  thence,  he  went  into 
their  synagogue : 

AND,  behold,  there  was  a  man  which    had  his 
hand  withered.    And  they  asked  him,  saying,  Is 
it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath  days?  that  they 
might  accuse  him. 
AND  he  said  unto  them,  What  man  shall  there  be 

12 


gear  of 


among  you,  that  shall  have  one  sheep,  and  if  it 
fall  into  a  pit  on  the  sabbath  day,  will  he  not  lay 
hold  on  it,  and  lift  /'/  out  ? 

How  much  then  is  a  man  better  than  a  sheep? 
Wherefore  it  is  lawful  to  do  well  on  the  sabbath 
days. 

THEN  saith  he  to  the  man,  Stretch  forth  thine 
hand.  And  he  stretched  /'/  forth ;  and  it  was  re- 
stored whole,  like  as  the  other.

AND  the  Pharisees  went  forth,  and  straightway 
took  counsel  with  the  Herodians  against  him,

BUT  Jesus  withdrew  himself  with  his  disciples  to 
the  sea:  and  a  great  multitude  from  Galilee  fol- 
lowed him,  and  from  Judaea, 
AND  from  Jerusalem,  and  from   Idumsea,  and 
from  beyond  Jordan ;  and  they  about  Tyre  and 
Sidon,  a  great  multitude,  when  they  had  heard 
what  great  things  he  did,  came  unto  him. 
AND  he  spake  to  his  disciples,  that  a  small  ship 
should  wait  on  him  because  of  the  multitude,  lest 
they  should  throng  him. 

FOR  he  had  healed  many;  insomuch  that  they 
pressed  upon  him  for  to  touch  him,  as  many  as 
had  plagues.

not  make  him  known.

him, 

AND  saying,  Lord,  my  servant  lieth  at  home 
sick  of  the  palsy,  grievously  tormented. 
AND  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  will  come  and  heal 
him. 

THE  centurion  answered  and  said,  Lord,  I  am 
not  worthy  that  thou  shouldest  come  under  my 
roof:  but  speak  the  word  only,  and  my  servant 
shall  be  healed. 

FOR  I  am  a  man  under  authority,  having  soldiers 
under  me:  and  I  say  to  this  man.  Go,  and  he

and  to  my  servant,  Do  this,  and  he  doeth  //. 
WHEN  Jesus  heard  /"/,  he  marvelled,  and  said  to 
them  that  followed,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  have 
not  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in  Israel. 
AND  I  say  unto  you,  That  many  shall  come  from 
the  east  and  west,  and  shall  sit  down  with  Abra- 
ham, and  Isaac,  and  Jacob,  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

BUT  the  children  of  the  kingdom  shall  be  cast 
out  into  outer  darkness:  there  shall  be  weeping 
and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

AND  Jesus  said  unto  the  centurion,  Go  thy 
way ;  and  as  thou  hast  believed,  so  be  it  done  unto 
thee.  And  his  servant  was  healed  in  the  selfsame

And  he  delivered  him  to  his  mother. 
16    AND  there  came  a  fear  on  all:  and  they  glorified 
God,  saying,  That  a  great  prophet  is  risen  up

AND  in  that  same  hour  he  cured  many  of  their 
infirmities  and  plagues,  and  of  evil  spirits;  and 
unto  many  that  were  blind  he  gave  sight.

AND  when  he  went  forth  to  land,  there  met  him 
out  of  the  city  a  certain  man,  which  had  devils 
long  time,  and  ware  no  clothes,  neither  abode  in 
any  house,  but  in  the  tombs. 
WHEN  he  saw  Jesus,  he  cried  out,  and  fell  down 
before   him,  and  with  a  loud  voice  said,  What 
have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  God 
most  high?    I  beseech  thee,  torment  me  not. 
(  FOR  he  had  commanded  the  unclean  spirit  to 
come  out  of  the  man.     For  oftentimes  it  had 
caught  him :  and  he  was  kept  bound  with  chains 
and  in  fetters ;  and  he  brake  the  bands,  and  was 
driven  of  the  devil  into  the  wilderness.) 
AND  Jesus  asked  him,  saying,  What  is  thy  name? 
And  he  said,  Legion :  because  many  devils  were 
entered  into  him. 

AND  they  besought  him  that  he  would  not  com- 
mand them  to  go  out  into  the  deep. 
AND  there  was  there  an  herd  of  many  swine  feed-

ing  on  the  mountain :  and  they  besought  him  that 
he  would  suffer  them  to  enter  into  them.  And

33  THEN  went  the  devils  out  of  the  man,  and  entered 
into  the  swine:  and  the  herd  ran  violently  down 
a  steep  place  into  the  lake,  and  were  choked. 

34  WHEN  they  that  fed  them  saw  what  was  done, 
they  fled,  and  went  and  told  it  in  the  city  and  in 
the  country. 

35  THEN  they  went  out  to  see  what  was  done;  and 
came  to  Jesus,  and  found  the  man,  out  of  whom 
the  devils  were  departed,  sitting  at  the  feet  of 
Jesus,  clothed,  and  in  his  right  mind :  and  they 
were  afraid. 

36  THEY  also  which  saw  /'/  told  them  by  what  means 
he  that  was  possessed  of  the  devils  was  healed. 

37  THEN  the  whole  multitude  of  the  country  of  the 
Gadarenes  round  about  besought  him  to  depart 
from  them;  for  they  were  taken  with  great  fear: 
and  he  went  up  into  the  ship,  and  returned  back 
again. 

38  Now  the  man  out  of  whom  the  devils  were  de- 
parted besought  him  that  he  might  be  with  him : 
but  Jesus  sent  him  away,  saying, 

39  RETURN  to  thine  own  house,  and  shew  how  great 
things  God  hath  done  unto  thee.    And  he  went 
his  way,  and  published  throughout  the  whole  city 
how  great  things  Jesus  had  done  unto  him.

is  given  unto  him,  that  even  such  mighty  works 
are  wrought  by  his  hands  ? 

Is  NOT  this  the  carpenter,  the  son  of  Mary,  the 
brother  of  James,  and  Joses,  and  of  Juda,  and 
Simon  ?  and  are  not  his  sisters  here  with  us  ?  And 
they  were  offended  at  him. 

BUT  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A  prophet  is  not  with- 
out honour,  but  in  his  own  country,  and  among 
his  own  kin,  and  in  his  own  house.

company  come  unto  him,  he  saith  unto  Philip, 
Whence  shall  we  buy  bread,  that  these  may  eat  ?

of  them  may  take  a  little. 

ONE  of  his  disciples,  Andrew,  Simon  Peter's 
brother,  saith  unto  him, 

THERE  is  a  lad  here,  which  hath  five  barley  loaves, 
and  two  small  fishes :  but  what  are  they  among  so 
many  ? 

AND  Jesus  said,  Make  the  men  sit  down.    Now 
there  was  much  grass  in  the  place.    So  the  men 
sat  down,  in  number  about  five  thousand. 
AND  Jesus  took  the  loaves;  and  when  he  had 
given  thanks,  he  distributed  to  the  disciples,  and 
the  disciples  to  them  that  were  set  down;  and 
likewise  of  the  fishes  as  much  as  they  would. 
WHEN  they  were  filled,  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 
Gather  up  the  fragments  that  remain,  that  nothing 
be  lost. 

'3  THEREFORE  they  gathered  them  together,  and 
filled  twelve  baskets  with  the  fragments  of  the 
five  barley  loaves,  which  remained  over  and  above 
unto  them  that  had  eaten. 

THEN  those  men,  when  they  had  seen  the  miracle 
that  Jesus   did,  said,  This   is   of  a   truth   that 
prophet  that  should  come  into  the  world. 
WHEN  Jesus  therefore  perceived  that  they  would 
come  and  take  him  by  force,  to  make  him  a  king, 
he  departed  again  into  a  mountain  himself  alone.

to  get  into  a  ship,  and  to  go  before   him 
unto  the  other  side,  while  he  sent  the  multitudes 
away.

Be  of  good  cheer ;  it  is  I ;  be  not  afraid. 
AND  Peter  answered  him  and  said,  Lord,  if  it  be 
thou,  bid  me  come  unto  thee  on  the  water. 
AND  he  said,  Come.   And  when  Peter  was  come 
down  out  of  the  ship,  he  walked  on  the  water,  to 
go  to  Jesus. 

BUT  when  he  saw  the  wind  boisterous,  he  was 
afraid;  and  beginning  to  sink,  he  cried,  saying, 
Lord,  save  me.

WHEN  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  spat  on  the  ground,

went  his  way  therefore,  and  washed,  and  came

is  not  of  God,  because  he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath 
day.  Others  said,  How  can  a  man  that  is  a  sinner 
do  such  miracles?  And  there  was  a  division 
among  them. 

THEY  say  unto  the  blind  man  again,  What  sayest 
thou  of  him,  that  he  hath  opened  thine  eyes?  He 
said,  He  is  a  prophet. 

BUT  the  Jews  did  not  believe  concerning  him, 
that  he  had  been  blind,  and  received  his  sight, 
until  they  called  the  parents  of  him  that  had  re- 
ceived his  sight. 

AND  they  asked  them,  saying,  Is  this  your  son, 
who  ye  say  was  born  blind?  how  then  doth  he 
now  see  ? 

His  parents  answered  them  and  said,  We  know 
that  this  is  our  son,  and  that  he  was  born  blind  : 
BUT  by  what  means  he  now  seeth,  we  know  not; 
or  who  hath  opened  his  eyes,  we  know  not  :  he 
is  of  age  ;  ask  him  :  he  shall  speak  for  himself.

feared  the  Jews  :  for  the  Jews  had  agreed  already, 
that  if  any  man  did  confess  that  he  was  Christ,  he 
should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue. 
THEREFORE  said  his  parents,  He  is  of  age;  ask  him. 
THEN  again  called  they  the  man  that  was  blind, 
and  said  unto  him,  Give  God  the  praise  :  we  know 
that  this  man  is  a  sinner.

thee  ?  how  opened  he  thine  eyes  ? 
HE  ANSWERED  them,  I  have  told  you  already, 
and  ye  did  not  hear :  wherefore  would  ye  hear  // 
again  ?  will  ye  also  be  his  disciples  ? 

a8    THEN  they  reviled  him,  and  said,  Thou  art  his 
disciple;  but  we  are  Moses'  disciples. 
WE  KNOW  that  God  spake  unto  Moses :  as  for 
this  fellow,  we  know  not  from  whence  he  is. 

3°  THE  man  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Why 
herein  is  a  marvellous  thing,  that  ye  know  not 
from  whence  he  is,  and  yet  he  hath  opened  mine 
eyes. 

Now  we  know  that  God  heareth  not  sinners :  but 
if  any  man  be  a  worshipper  of  God,  and  doeth 
his  will,  him  he  heareth. 

SINCE  the  world  began  was  it  not  heard  that  any 
man  opened  the  eyes  of  one  that  was  born  blind. 

33  IF  THIS  man  were  not  of  God,  he  could  do  nothing. 

34  THEY  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Thou  wast 
altogether  born  in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us  ? 
And  they  cast  him  out. 

35  JESUS  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out;   and 
when  he  had  found  him,  he  said  unto  him,  Dost

him,  and  it  is  he  that  talketh  with  thee. 

AND  he  said,  Lord,  I  believe.  And  he  worshipped 

him. 

AND  Jesus  said,  For  judgment  I  am  come  into 

this  world,  that  they  which  see  not  might  see; 

and  that  they  which  see  might  be  made  blind. 

AND  some  of  the  Pharisees  which  were  with  him 

heard  these  words,  and  said  unto  him,  Are  we 

blind  also  ? 

JESUS  said  unto  them,  If  ye  were  blind,  ye  should 

have  no  sin  :  but  now  ye  say,  We  see  ;  therefore 

your  sin  remaineth. 

MANY  ARE  HEALED  BEYOND  JORDAN. 
PEREA.    MATTHEW  xix:  i,  2. 

HE  DEPARTED  from  Galilee,  and  came  into  the 
coasts  of  Judaea  beyond  Jordan; 
AND    great   multitudes    followed    him;    and    he 
healed  them  there. 

HEALS  WOMAN  WITH  INFIRMITY. 

VALLEY  OF  JORDAN,  PEREA.    LUKE  xm:  10-17. 

AND  he  was  teaching  in  one  of  the  synagogues 
on  the  sabbath. 

AND,  behold,  there  was  a  woman  which  had  a 
spirit  of  infirmity  eighteen  years,  and  was  bowed 
together,  and  could  in  no  wise  lift  up  herself. 
AND  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he  called  her  to  him,

and  said  unto  her,  Woman,  thou  art  loosed  from 
thine  infirmity. 

'3  AND  he  laid  his  hands  on  her:  and  immediately 
she  was  made  straight,  and  glorified  God. 
AND  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue  answered  with 
indignation,  because  that  Jesus  had  healed  on  the 
sabbath  day,  and  said  unto  the  people,  There  are 
six  days  in  which  men  ought  to  work :  in  them 
therefore  come  and  be  healed,  and  not  on  the 
sabbath  day. 

THE  Lord  then  answered  him,  and  said,  fhou 
hypocrite,  doth  not  each  one  of  you  on  the  sab- 
bath loose  his  ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and 
lead  him  away  to  watering? 

16  AND  ought  not  this  woman,  being  a  daughter  of 
Abraham,  whom  Satan  hath  bound,  lo,  these 
eighteen  years,  be  loosed  from  this  bond  on  the 
sabbath  day? 

AND  when  he  had  said  these  things,  all  his  adver- 
saries were  ashamed:  and  all  the  people  rejoiced 
for  all  the  glorious  things  that  were  done  by  him. 

A  MAN  HEALED  OF  DROPSY  ON  THE  SABBATH. 
PEREA.    LUKE  xiv:  1-6. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  went  into  the  house 
of  one  of  the  chief  Pharisees  to  eat  bread  on 
the  sabbath  day,  that  they  watched  him. 
AND,  behold,  there  was  a  certain  man  before  him 
which  had  the  dropsy.

AND  Jesus  answering  spake  unto  the  lawyers  and 
Pharisees,  saying,  Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sab- 
bath day? 

AND  they  held  their  peace.    And  he  took  him, 
and  healed  him,  and  let  him  go ; 
AND  answered  them,  saying,  Which  of  you  shall 
have  an  ass  or  an  ox  fallen  into  a  pit,  and  will  not 
straightway  pull  him  out  on  the  sabbath  day  ? 
AND  they  could  not  answer  him  again  to  these 
things. 

LAZARUS  IS  RAISED. 

BETHANY.    JOHN  xi:  1-44,  53,  54. 

Now  a  certain  man  was  sick,  named  Lazarus,  of 
Bethany,  the  town  of  Mary  and  her  sister 
Martha. 

(!T  WAS  that  Mary  which  anointed  the   Lord 
with  ointment,  and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair, 
whose  brother  Lazarus  was  sick.) 
THEREFORE    his   sisters   sent  unto  him,  saying, 
Lord,  behold,  he  whom  thou  lovest  is  sick. 
WHEN  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said,  This  sickness  is 
not  unto  death,  but  for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the 
Son  of  God  might  be  glorified  thereby. 
Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and  her  sister,  and 
Lazarus. 

WHEN  he  had  heard  therefore  that  he  was  sick, 
he  abode  two  days  still  in  the  same  place  where 
he  was.

THEN  after  that  saith  he  to  his  disciples,  Let  us 

go  into  Judaea  again. 

His  disciples  say  unto  him,  Master,  the  Jews  of 

late  sought  to  stone  thee ;  and  goest  thou  thither 

again  ? 

JESUS  answered,  Are  there  not  twelve  hours  in 

the  day?    If  any  man  walk  in  the  day,  he  stum- 

bleth  not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this  world. 

BUT  if  a  man  walk  in  the  night,  he  stumbleth, 

because  there  is  no  light  in  him. 

THESE  things  said  he :  and  after  that  he  saith  unto 

them,  Our  friend  Lazarus  sleepeth;   but  I   go, 

that  I  may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 

THEN  said  his  disciples,  Lord,  if  he  sleep,  he 

shall  do  well. 

HOWBEIT  Jesus  spake  of  his  death:   but  they 

thought  that  he  had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest  in 

sleep. 

THEN  said  Jesus  unto  them  plainly,  Lazarus  is  dead. 

AND  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that  I  was  not 

there,  to  the  intent  ye  may  believe;  nevertheless 

let  us  go  unto  him. 
16    THEN  said  Thomas,  which  is  called  Didymus, 

unto  his  fellow-disciples,  Let  us  also  go,  that  we 

may  die  with  him. 

THEN  when  Jesus  came,  he  found  that  he  had 

lain  in  the  grave  four  days  already. 
18    Now  Bethany  was  nigh  unto  Jerusalem,  about 

fifteen  furlongs  off:

AND  many  of  the  Jews  came  to   Martha  and 

Mary,  to  comfort  them  concerning  their  brother. 

THEN  Martha,  as  soon  as  she  heard  that  Jesus 

was  coming,  went  and  met  him  :  but  Mary  sat 

still  in  the  house. 

THEN  said  Martha  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst 

been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died. 

BUT  I  know,  that  even  now,  whatsoever  thou  wilt 

ask  of  God,  God  will  give  //  thee. 

JESUS    saith   unto   her,  Thy  brother   shall  rise 

again. 

MARTHA  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that  he  shall 

rise  again  in  the  resurrection  at  the  last  day. 

JESUS  said  unto  her,  I  am  the  resurredion,  and 

the  life  :  he  that  believeth  in  me,  though  he  were 

dead,  yet  shall  he  live: 

AND  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  in  me  shall 

never  die.    Believest  thou  this  ? 

SHE  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord  :  I  believe  that 

thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  which  should 

come  into  the  world. 

AND  when  she  had  so  said,  she  went  her  way,  and 

called  Mary  her  sister  secretly,  saying,  The  Mas- 

ter is  come,  and  calleth  for  thee. 

As  SOON  as  she  heard  that,  she  arose  quickly,  and 

came  unto  him. 

Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come  into  the  town,  but 

was  in  that  place  where  Martha  met  him. 

THE   Jews   then   which  were  with   her  in   the

house,  and  comforted  her,  when  they  saw  Mary, 
that  she  rose  up  hastily  and  went  out,  fol- 
lowed her,  saying,  She  goeth  unto  the  grave  to 
weep  there. 

3*  THEN  when  Mary  was  come  where  Jesus  was, 
and  saw  him,  she  fell  down  at  his  feet,  saying  un- 
to him,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my  brother 
had  not  died. 

33  WHEN  Jesus  therefore  saw  her  weeping,  and  the 
Jews   also   weeping   which   came   with    her,    he 
groaned  in  the  spirit,  and  was  troubled, 

34  AND  said,  Where  have  ye  laid  him  ?   They  said 
unto  him,  Lord,  come  and  see. 

35  JESUS  wept. 

36  THEN  said  the  Jews,  Behold  how  he  loved  him ! 

37  AND  some  of  them  said,  Could  not  this  man, 
which  opened  the  eyes  of  the  blind,  have  caused 
that  even  this  man  should  not  have  died? 

38  JESUS  therefore  again  groaning  in  himself  cometh 
to  the  grave.  It  was  a  cave,  and  a  stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  JESUS  said,  Take  ye  away  the  stone.   Martha,  the 
sister  of  him  that  was  dead,  saith  unto  him,  Lord, 
by  this  time  he  stinketh :  for  he  hath  been  dead 
four  days. 

4°  JESUS  saith  unto  her,  Said  I  not  unto  thee,  that, 
if  thou  wouldest  believe,  thou  shouldest  see  the 
glory  of  God  ? 

41  THEN  they  took  away  the  stone  from  the  place  where 
the  dead  was  laid.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 

44

said,  Father,  I  thank  thee  that  thou  hast  heard  me. 

AND  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me  always:  but 

because  of  the  people  which  stand  by  I  said  it, 

that  they  may  believe  that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

AND  when  he  thus  had  spoken,  he  cried  with  a 

loud  voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth. 

AND  he  that  was  dead  came  forth,  bound  hand 

and  foot  with    graveclothes :    and   his  face  was 

bound  about  with  a  napkin.   Jesus  saith   unto 

them,  Loose  him,  and  let  him  go. 

THEN  from  that  day  forth  they  took  counsel  to- 

5 ether  for  to  put  him  to  death. 
ESUS  therefore  walked  no  more  openly  among 
the  Jews ;  but  went  thence  unto  a  country  near 
to  the  wilderness,  into  a  city  called  Ephraim,  and 
there  continued  with  his  disciples.

THE  STONE  ROLLED  FROM  THE  SEPULCHRE. 
JERUSALEM.    MATTHEW  xxvm:  i-io. 

IN  THE  end  of  the  sabbath,  as  it  began  to  dawn 
toward  the  fast  day  of  the  week,  came  Mary  Mag- 
dalene and  the  other  Mary  to  see  the  sepulchre. 
AND,  behold,  there  was  a  great  earthquake:  for 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  descended  from  heaven, 
and  came  and  rolled  back  the  stone  from  the 
door,  and  sat  upon  it* 

His  countenance  was  like  lightning,  and  his 
raiment  white  as  snow: 

AND  for  fear  of  him  the  keepers  did  shake,  and 
became  as  dead  men. 

AND  the  angel  answered  and  said  unto  the  women, 
Fear  not  ye :  for  I  know  that  ye  seek  Jesus,  which 
was  crucified. 

HE  is  not  here :  for  he  is  risen,  as  he  said.  Come, 
see  the  place  where  the  Lord  lay. 
AND  go  quickly,  and  tell  his  disciples  that  he  is 
risen  from  the  dead;  and,  behold,  he  goeth  be- 
fore you  into  Galilee ;  there  shall  ye  see  him :  lo, 
I  have  told  you.

disciples  word.

SECOND  DRAUGHT  OF  FISHES.    JOHN    xxi:  1-25. 

AFTER  these  things  Jesus  shewed  himself  again 
to  the  disciples  at  the  sea  of  Tiberias ;  and 
on  this  wise  shewed  he  himself. 
THERE  were  together  Simon  Peter,  and  Thomas 
called  Didymus,  and  Nathanael  of  Cana  in  Gali- 
lee, and  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  and  two  other  of 
his  disciples. 


SIMON  PETER  saith  unto  them,  I  go  a  fishing. 

They  say  unto  him,  We  also  go  with  thee.  They 

went  forth,  and  entered  into  a  ship  immediately ; 

and  that  night  they  caught  nothing. 

BUT  when  the  morning  was  now  come,  Jesus 

stood  on  the  shore:  but  the  disciples  knew  not 

that  it  was  Jesus. 

THEN  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Children,  have  ye 

any  meat?    They  answered  him,  No. 

AND   he  said  unto  them,  Cast  the  net  on  the 

right  side  of  the  ship,  and  ye  shall  find.    They 

cast  therefore,  and  now  they  were  not  able  to 

draw  it  for  the  multitude  of  fishes. 

THEREFORE  that  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  saith 

unto  Peter,  It  is  the  Lord.    Now  when  Simon 

Peter  heard  that  it  was  the   Lord,  he  girt  his 

fisher's  coat  unto  him,  (for  he  was  naked,)  and 

did  cast  himself  into  the  sea. 

AND  the  other  disciples  came  in  a  little  ship;  (for 

they  were  not  far  from  land,  but  as  it  were  two 

hundred  cubits,)  dragging  the  net  with  fishes. 

As  SOON  then  as  they  were  come  to  land,  they  saw 

a  fire  of  coals  there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread. 

JESUS  saith  unto  them,  Bring  of  the  fish  which 

ye  have  now  caught. 

SIMON  PETER  went  up,  and  drew  the  net  to  land 

full  of  great  fishes,  an  hundred  and  fifty  and  three: 

and  for  all  there  were  so  many,  yet  was  not  the 

net  broken.

JESUS  saith  unto   them,  Come  and  dine.    And 
none  of  the  disciples  durst  ask  him,  Who  art 
thou  ?  knowing  that  it  was  the  Lord. 
JESUS  then  cometh,  and  taketh  bread,  and  giveth 
them,  and  fish  likewise. 

THIS  is  now  the  third  time  that  Jesus  shewed 
himself  to  his  disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead. 

So  WHEN  they  had  dined,  Jesus  saith  to  Simon 
Peter,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  more 
than  these?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord; 
thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He  saith  unto 
him,  Feed  my  lambs. 

HE  SAITH  to  him  again  the  second  time,  Simon, 
son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me?  He  saith  unto  him, 
Yea,  Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He 
saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep. 
HE  SAITH  unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son 
of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ?  Peter  was  grieved  be- 
cause he  said  unto  him  the  third  time,  Lovest 
thou  me?  And  he  said  unto  him,  Lord,  thou 
knowest  all  things;  thou  knowest  that  I  love 
thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep. 
VERILY,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  When  thou  wast 
young,  thou  girdedst  thyself,  and  walkedst  whither 
thou  wouldest :  but  when  thou  shalt  be  old,  thou 
shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and  another  shall 
gird  thee,  and  carry  thee  whither  thou  wouldest 
not.

THIS  spake  he,  signifying  by  what  death  he 
should  glorify  God.  And  when  he  had  spoken 
this,  he  saith  unto  him,  Follow  me. 
THEN  Peter,  turning  about,  seeth  the  disciple 
whom  Jesus  loved  following;  which  also  leaned 
on  his  breast  at  supper,  and  said,  Lord,  which  is 
he  that  betrayeth  thee? 

PETER  seeing  him  saith  to  Jesus,  Lord,  and  what 
shall  this  man  do  ? 

JESUS  saith  unto  him,  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till 
I  come,  what  is  that  to  thee  ?  follow  thou  me. 
THEN  went  this  saying  abroad  among  the  breth- 
ren, that  that  disciple  should  not  die :  yet  Jesus 
said  not  unto  him,  He  shall  not  die;  but,  If  I 
will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is  that  to  thee  ? 
THIS  is  the  disciple  which  testifieth  of  these  things, 
and  wrote  these  things:  and  we  know  that  his 
testimony  is  true. 

AND  there  are  also  many  other  things  which 
Jesus  did,  the  which,  if  they  should  be  written 
every  one,  I  suppose  that  even  the  world  itself 
could  not  contain  the  books  that  should  be 
written.  Amen.

AND  when  he  had  called  unto  him  his  twelve 
disciples,  he  gave  them  power  against  unclean 
spirits,  to  cast  them  out,  and  to  heal  all  manner 
of  sickness  and  all  manner  of  disease. 
THESE  twelve  Jesus  sent  forth,  and  commanded 
them,  saying,  Go  not  into  the  way  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  into  any  city  of  the  Samaritans  enter  ye 
not: 

BUT  go  rather  to  the  lost  sheep  of  the  house  of 
Israel.

AND  seeing  the  multitudes,  he  went  up  into  a

came  unto  him :

saying, 

BLESSED  are  the  poor  in  spirit:  for  their's  is  the

BLESSED  are  they  that  mourn:  for  they  shall  be

BLESSED  are  ye,  when  men  shall  revile  you,  and 
persecute  youy  and  shall  say  all  manner  of  evil 
against  you  falsely,  for  my  sake. 
REJOICE,  and  be  exceeding  glad :  for  great  is  your

WHOSOEVER  therefore  shall  break  one  of  these 
least  commandments,  and  shall  teach  men  so,  he 
shall  be  called  the  least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven : 
but  whosoever  shall  do  and  teach  them,  the  same 
shall  be  called  great  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 
FOR  I  say  unto  you,  That  except  your  righteous- 
ness shall  exceed  the  righteousness  of  the  scribes 
and  Pharisees,  ye  shall  in  no  case  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

YE  HAVE  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old 
time,  Thou  shalt  not  kill ;  and  whosoever  shall 
kill  shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judgment : 
BUT  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  is  angry 
with  his  brother  without  a  cause  shall  be  in 
danger  of  the  judgment :  and  whosoever  shall  say 
to  his  brother,  Raca,  shall  be  in  danger  of  the 
council:  but  whosoever  shall  say,  Thou  fool, 
shall  be  in  danger  of  hell  fire. 
THEREFORE  if  thou  bring  thy  gift  to  the  altar, 
and  there  rememberest  that  thy  brother  hath 
ought  against  thee ; 

LEAVE  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar,  and  go  thy 
way ;  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and  then 
come  and  offer  thy  gift. 

AGREE  with  thine  adversary  quickly,  whiles  thou 
art  in  the  way  with  him;  lest  at  any  time  the 
adversary  deliver  thee  to  the  judge,  and  the  judge 
deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and  thou  be  cast  into

YE  HAVE  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old 
time,  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery : 
BUT  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  looketh  on 
a  woman  to  lust  after  her,  hath  committed  adul- 
tery with  her  already  in  his  heart. 
AND  if  thy  right  eye  offend  thee,  pluck  it  out, 
and  cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee 
that  one  of  thy  members  should  perish,  and  not 
that  thy  whole  body  should  be  cast  into  hell. 

3°  AND  if  thy  right  hand  offend  thee,  cut  it  off,  and 
cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee  that 
one  of  thy  members  should  perish,  and  not  that 
thy  whole  body  should  be  cast  into  hell. 

31  IT  HATH  been  said,  Whosoever  shall  put  away

away  his  wife,  saving  for  the  cause  of  fornication, 
causeth  her  to  commit  adultery :  and  whosoever 
shall  marry  her  that  is  divorced,  committeth 
adultery. 

33  AGAIN,  ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said  by 
them  of  old  time,  Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thy- 
self, but  shalt  perform  unto  the  Lord  thine  oaths :

thou  canst  not  make  one  hair  white  or  black. 

BUT  let  your  communication  be,  Yea,  yea;  Nay,

of  evil. 

YE  HAVE  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  An  eye  for 

an  eye,  and  a  tooth  for  a  tooth : 

BUT  I  say  unto  you,  That  ye  resist  not  evil :  but 

whosoever  shall  smite  thee  on  thy  right  cheek, 

turn  to  him  the  other  also.

go  with  him  twain. 

GIVE  to  him  that  asketh  thee,  and  from  him  that 

would  borrow  of  thee  turn  not  thou  away. 

YE  HAVE  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  Thou  shalt 

love  thy  neighbour,  and  hate  thine  enemy. 

BUT  I  say  unto  you,  Love  your  enemies,  bless 

them  that  curse  you,  do  good  to  them  that  hate 

you,  and  pray  for  them  which  despitefully  use 

you,  and  persecute  you ; 

THAT  ye  may  be  the  children  of  your  Father 

which  is  in  heaven :  for  he  maketh  his  sun  to  rise 

on  the  evil  and  on  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain  on

thine  own  eye ;  and  then  shalt  thou  see  clearly  to 

cast  out  the  mote  out  of  thy  brother's  eye. 

GIVE   not   that  which   is    holy  unto   the   dogs, 

neither  cast  ye  your  pearls  before  swine,  lest  they 

trample  them  under  their  feet,  and  turn  again 

and  rend  you. 

ASK,  and  it  shall  be  given  you;    seek,  and  ye 

shall  find;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened  unto 

you: 

FOR  every  one  that  asketh  receiveth ;  and  he  that 

seeketh  findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall 

be  opened. 

OR  WHAT  man  is  there  of  you,  whom  if  his  son 

ask  bread,  will  he  give  him  a  stone  ? 

OR  IF  he  ask  a  fish,  will  he  give  him  a  serpent? 

IF  YE  then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good 

gifts  unto  your  children,  how  much  more  shall 

your  Father  which  is  in  heaven  give  good  things 

to  them  that  ask  him  ? 

THEREFORE  all  things  whatsoever  ye  would  that 

men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them : 

for  this  is  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

ENTER  ye  in  at  the  strait  gate :  for  wide  is  the

gate,  and  broad  is  the  way,  that  leadeth  to  de- 
strudion,  and  many  there  be  which  go  in  thereat : 
BECAUSE  strait  is  the  gate,  and  narrow  is  the  way, 
which  leadeth  unto  life;  and  few  there  be  that 
find  it. 

BEWARE  of  false  prophets,  which  come  to  you  in 
sheep's  clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are  ravening 
wolves. 

YE  SHALL  know  them  by  their  fruits.  Do  men 
gather  grapes  of  thorns,  or  figs  of  thistles  ? 
EVEN  so  every  good  tree  bringeth  forth  good 
fruit ;  but  a  corrupt  tree  bringeth  forth  evil  fruit. 
A  GOOD  tree  cannot  bring  forth  evil  fruit,  neither 
can  a  corrupt  tree  bring  forth  good  fruit. 
EVERY  tree  that  bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit  is 
hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 
WHEREFORE  by  their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them. 
NOT  every  one  that  saith  unto  me,  Lord,  Lord, 
shall  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven ;  but  he  that 
doeth  the  will  of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 
MANY  will  say  to  me  in  that  day,  Lord,  Lord, 
have  we  not  prophesied  in  thy  name  ?  and  in  thy 
name  have  cast  out  devils?  and  in  thy  name  done 
many  wonderful  works  ? 

AND  then  will  I  profess  unto  them,  I  never  knew 
you :  depart  from  me,  ye  that  work  iniquity. 
THEREFORE  whosoever  heareth  these  sayings  of 
mine,  and  doeth  them,  I  will  liken  him  unto  a 
wise  man,  which  built  his  house  upon  a  rock :

Wyt  Watte  of 


AND  the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods  came, 
and  the  winds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house; 
and  it  fell  not :  for  it  was  founded  upon  a  rock. 
a6  AND  every  one  that  heareth  these  sayings  of 
mine,  and  doeth  them  not,  shall  be  likened  unto 
a  foolish  man,  which  built  his  house  upon  the 
sand: 

AND  the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods  came, 
and  the  winds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house ; 
and  it  fell :  and  great  was  the  fall  of  it. 

28  AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  ended  these 
sayings,  the  people  were  astonished  at  his  doc- 
trine : 

*9  FOR  he  taught  them  as  one  having  authority,  and 
not  as  the  scribes. 

WHEN  he  was  come  down  from  the  mountain, 
great  multitudes  followed  him.
